Hello everybody!

Defending Lydia Collier v.0.20 has now been released!

This is comprehensive recoding with lots of changes, but now should have fixed all of the historic content and lays the foundation to complete the game, whilst adding in some new content.

Change Log (from v.0.17.0.3):

Three new scenes for Lydia.*
Two new scenes for Ellie.*
New scene for Tiffany.
New scene for Tanya.
New scene for Emma.
New scene for Samantha.

*new plastic surgery scenes requite you to have completed Divine Health's work project by Day 11.

5 New Achievements and unlockable reward images added.

New in-game walk-through across all sixteen days (can be activated or disabled from the settings).

New renders scattered throughout the days to remove potentially copyrighted material or third party content no longer relevant.

New renders for various ladies' social media accounts.

Reworked Bimbo Stephanie evening after the adult store with an additional third path to tone down the kinkiness, original two paths are unchanged.

Lots of bug fixes and pathing changes, made it slightly easier to get onto Emma's path.

Lots of typos fixed, huge amount of missing punctuation marks and grammar fixed in the early days.

Entire game recoded, all computer and phone elements recoded to work properly.

Computer interactions added at all previous placemarkers, with new evidence and news stories that change depending on your choices across all sixteen days.

New webpages for several in-game companies, Fleur and Tanya.

Overhauled Social Media (Our Moments and Whistle) with expanded galleries.
Overhauled BetOne website, with in-game bets no longer stopping after the first week, and adding in slots and blackjack as alternatives to get the betting achievements.
Overhauled Samantha Streaming to now properly link with Social Media.
Overhauled news websites and web-searching to easier find evidence and notable people.
Overhauled personal galleries to save pictures that you come across or are sent.
Overhauled email system.
Overhauled player bank.

New menus and theme, with new save game option and expanded replay gallery to now include separate tabs for Tiffany, Sophie and Tanya.

Optimisation of images moving nearly all jpegs to webp images, which roughly halves the required download size.

New Bug Reporting System, through Discord (link on game's main menu) to enable accurate tracking, reporting and management of any bugs.

Updated EULA which replaces the previous one henceforth.

Everything from v.0.17.0.3 or earlier is incompatible with v.0.20 due to the amount of coding that has been changed, all saves will break, as will all mods.

A huge apology for the delays in getting this out there, there was just one problem after another getting this out, but it is finally done.

If you do find any bugs or problems, please use the in-game Discord link to report your bug there and I'll get it fixed ASAP.

Thanks for all the new and continued support!

Hello everybody!

Just an update on how the next update is coming along, and the last couple of weeks I've been focusing on adding in achievements to the game.

I've got all the technical parts of it working now, and I'm getting close to finishing off all the reward images and sending it out for testing.

With Defending Lydia Collier v.0.16.1 there will now be an achievements tab where you can view all the achievements, get a brief guide on how to unlock the ones that aren't secret, and as you complete them it will give you an unlockable gallery with each achievement granting you a new image. You can also press the portrait to turn it into a gallery of all the images.

You'll also get an in-game notification letting you know the achievement has been unlocked, and all of these achievements will mirror with new Steam achievements that will also be added.

As an example I've shown the easiest achievement, completing the first day, and the reward picture you get for it.

There will be 54 Achievements and reward images coming with v.0.16.1.

So far I have completed:

Made all coding for achievements, the gallery, the notifications etc and tested it myself, and made most of the images.

I've edited the early code when the paths branch, so you'll now get some dialogue and warning when an option will exit your current path. No more accidently abandoning Steph by taking Ellie on a date, you'll now be warned!

I've moved the early computer flags into persistent data for ease of replayability. For example, once you've found out where Eve is on one playthrough, you won't have to do it again on future playthroughs.

You no longer need to place a bet on Day 1, again making replayability smoother.

I've added in some options to work in the evenings if you're doing nothing else, making it possible to complete both the projects without cheating.

Small update with Vanessa and Tiffany moving them back to the UK. This features new adult scenes with Tiffany and Sophie. Vanessa and Tiffany will ALSO have content in v.0.17, this is just to re-unite all the branches together and this isn't their major Monday content.

I still need to complete:

19 remaining achievements and their images.

Tiffany's phone from the Wedding Night, as many people will be replaying for achievements I want to have this working in this update but its going to need have some coding work done and some more custom images and nudes for Tiffany on there.

Custom audio for Ellie's hotel night which is currently soundless.

Some different nude images for the most recent night with Helena, Emma and Ellie as the current ones move some of the girls to the wrong location.

Updating the walkthrough to v.0.16.

I should have all the achievements done hopefully by the weekend if not early next week, and then I'll send these out for testing to Alpha testers to make sure they're all working when v.0.16.1 comes around.

Thanks for all the new and continued support!
